Connecting a USB-C SSD
-
Just registered today, looking for a little guidance.
I'm working on finding a suitable mobile platform that would accept a live TailsOS 7.* stick via a OTG port OR any USB-C port of a Samsung "DeX Technology" desktop environment or Motorola "Ready Now". Oppo and Huawei have desktop environment as well but would rather stick with Samsung or Motorola.
Being that Tails is Ubuntu based I thought UT might play nicer, than say running Termux on Android.
Anything that would save me from wasting time is much appreciated.

Your best way to avoid wasting time is to look at the device list. If it's not on that list, you can't install Ubuntu Touch on it.
(Unless you'd want to make a port for an unsupported device, but that's not a good way to save time.)

This will not work with mobile devices, except for x86 with proper UEFI/BIOS. And connecting SSD via USB-C might also be not the best idea because of its limited power output.

Some devices can power on SSD via USB-C OTG with power delivery.
Fairphone 5 with Fairphone OS can do it, I use it with a sandisk extreme SSD 500Go, it works very well.On the other way, if I want to use an HDMI dongle with SSD attached, for example to play a movie with my FP5 from the SSD, I have to power the dongle with external power because FP5 can't deliver enough power to SSD and dongle with HDMI/audio output in use for a stable playback.
Now I still don't have a FP5 with UT on it so I can't test with this OS for now (will come).
